Siege of Angkor (Khmer empire vs Kingdom of Champa)

Cham invasions of Angkor (1170, 1177–1181)
Under Suryavarman II (reigned 1113–1150) the Kambuja (Khmer) kingdom united internally and Angkor Wat, the largest Vaishnavites temple in the capital of Yaśōdharapura (Angkor) was built in a period of 37 years. Khmer forces though he did sack Champa capital, Vijaya in 1145 and depose Jaya Indravarman III. The Khmers occupied Vijaya until 1149, when they were driven out by Jaya Harivarman I. Suryavarman II sent a mission to the Chola dynasty of south India and presented a precious stone to the Chola Emperor Kulothunga Chola I in 1114.

After Suryavarman II died, Kambuja (Khmer) empire was weakened by succession crisis, while Champa was united by King Jaya Indravarman IV. Finally in 1177 CE the Kambuja capital Yaśōdharapura (Angkor) was raided and looted after victorious naval battle on the Tonlé Sap lake by a Cham fleet under Jaya Indravarman IV king of Champa. During the sack, usurper Tribhuvanadityavarman king of Kambuja (khmer) was killed. Nevertheless exiled khmer Jayavarman VII manage to save the Kambuja Empire from its demise and repel the cham forces.

As a Kannadiga (south indian) this is fascinating. This would be similar to how our region would have been.
Hope our film industry takes some cues on of to make realistic historical movies/tv shows.

the Syailendra dynasty in the 8th century. this dynasty built the Borobudur Temple (Indonesia). The government system of the Ankor kingdom was adopted from the ancient Mataram kingdom which had existed on the island of Java (Indonesia).
Jayavarman II had lived in Java during the reign of the Sailendra dynasty, or "Kings of the Mountains". At that time the kings of the Sailendra dynasty as rulers of Medang and Sriwijaya controlled Java, Sumatra and the Malayan peninsula as well as parts of Cambodia.
Borobudur temple was built in 770 AD and completed in 825 AD, while the Angkor wat temple was built in 1113-1149M) by Suryavarman II. whereas in the 11th century the Malay Archipelago (Indonesia, Malaysia & the Philippines) had partly established Islamic empires, this was a period of transition and assimilation of Indonesian society (Nusantara) from cultureHinduism-Buddhism to Islam. We are all brothers. acheh people (etnhic in Indonesia) have language similarities with Champa Malay in Cambodia.
